Facebook Campaign Case Study: 600% CTR Increase for Ad Campaign
Facebook Campaign Results:
600% CTR Increase & 28% Landing Page Conversion
To deliver an effective Facebook campaign, a major Canadian home improvement brand utilizes CiG’s marketing and audience insights platform intelligentVIEW to increase sales of paint and door locks by targeting and reaching Toronto pre-mover audiences. Based on this success, the Canadian brand continued to run well-performing Facebook campaigns throughout 2022.
Situation:
The time between when a home is listed, when it is sold, and a period after the sale, presents an invaluable opportunity or trigger event for marketers trying to reach consumers who are ‘in the market’ for related products and services. This includes aesthetic and security upgrades.
While the client had done numerous campaigns targeting moving and movers, success was limited, and overall digital campaign effectiveness was dropping. The client was looking to improve their digital campaign targeting and overall effectiveness.
Enhance Facebook Campaign with intelligentVIEW
From there, they partner with CiG and integrate intelligentVIEW into their media planning and buying. The initial test campaign using intelligentVIEW data and integration with programmatic far exceeded any previous Facebook campaign results.
Here’s a quick overview of the Facebook campaign.
Step 1: Identifying Pre-Movers
Use CiG’s pre-mover data to identify homes that are on the market, listed or were sold in the last 30 days.
- The pre-mover dataset is compiled from 3rd party data listings and is updated semi-monthly.
- Includes 40,000 to 60,000 updated pre-mover records in the target markets. Apply a specific date range around the time when a home listing is sold, to when it is anticipated to close to refine the targeting ‘window of opportunity.’
Step 2: Profiling Pre-Movers
IntelligentVIEW’s built-in profiling capabilities used to gain insights into the target audience to inform the messaging and creative strategies.
- 17 pre-built profile reports that visually represent the target audience.
- Pre-mover audience identified and profiled in each report.
- Pre-movers also identified within intelligentSEGMENTS.
intelligentSEGMENTS, is CiG’s new proprietary segmentation system with 94 distinct consumer segments (socio-economic, demographic, lifestyle data etc). Learn more about intelligentSEGMENTS
Step 3: Targeting
Next, they extract the pre-mover postal code information.
CiG then matches geo-coded address locations to rooftop level digital IDs and loads the matching digital IDs within a 15 meter radius of pre-mover addresses into a Facebook Ad Manager event.
92% match rate of digital IDs against Facebook members who are within 15 meters geographically of the listed properties.
Step 4: Media Buying
Finally, the client uses Facebook Ad Manager to place their media buys against the event audience with Ads targeted to them.
Future programs will include intelligentVIEW’s direct to programmatic buying platform integration (ie. DV360, The Trade Desk etc).
